But more importantly, there is a "linkage" which my mechanic could not find which he says, when fitted, will give me the kickdown from the accelerator.

The transmission is almost certainly a 722.5xx.
Kickdown is accomplished electrically; there is a solenoid valve on the transmission, and a switch under the throttle pedal. If the car was originally a 560 the switch may still be there, and perhaps the wiring also.
